Charvette 150 question

[Razor]

I've come across a black strat body Charvette for sale for what I think is a reasonable price. Best I can tell it's a Model 150 with the single locking Charvel CH-120 tremolo. With the close dot spacing I'm assuming it's Made In Japan, but I haven't gotten more detailed pictures of it yet. My biggest question I really have is does anyone know if that tremolo post spacing is Floyd spaced? If it isn't then any idea if it's Kahler spaced, or am I stuck with a crappy single locker unless I convert it over to Floyd posts by plugging and drilling?

Anyone know what pickups are in one of them? I have a copy of the 1990-1991 catalog, but it doesn't say what they are other than "Ceramic Plus".

I could check i should have one of those trem systems still somewhere. I sold the rest of the guitar as parts.
Edit: I just remembered i threw the thing away not that long ago. One of the crappiest trems i ever came across. It just started disintegrating around the tremarm. Probably somewhat usable if you block it.

NOT Folyd bro

NOT Floyd bro

Yep. I wish I had remembered that other recent thread on here before I posted. Post spacing is a fucked spacing so Floyd, Kahler, and damn near anything else won't fit. Fucking retarded!!! I'd also heard about the string overhang from the string spacing too in the other semi-recent thread on here too. I'm not sure I want to get into plugging and drilling myself as I'm sure I'd fuck it up, and I'm too cheap to send it off and have it done. It's cheap enough that I'm tempted to buy it just for the neck and the hard case though.

those frets look fucked.

Needs a good cleaning and polishing. I think they'd probably be in pretty good shape if they were cleaned.

They're not junk bro. I only paid 150 for a neon orange one and sold to my son for 100. this has been recent, I've had 3=4 off them. Yes it would be perfect to hone you're luther skills on. Or just play it, have fun. I have way too many guitars

[john.w.lawson]

Their pickup is like a crappy j90

[paranoid]

if you can find one of the old Kahler 2 post Kahler killers from a peavy nitro they line up. or the old 2 post kahler that was on the early model 2 Charvels, but they were not very good trems either.

You're wrong

[paranoid]

You may be right. What is the Charvette spacing? I had bought a Charvette in the early 90's and some one had put a kahler on it. unless it was a model 2 body with a Charvette neck. the Kahler spacing appears to be about 57 mm on my 86' model 2. my newer model 2 guitars appear to be about 74mm.

There are four models, two are actually MIJ but they are fusion scale and have 24 frets


Added the 24 fret had JT6 so with them there are no problems with space and you could throw a floyd on one

I wondered if it was a J90 in it. Damn. I may have to go back and snag it.
